Ailing transportation systems. 200% increase in freight traffic in past two decades
System improvements will include investments to share and move ‘information’ too
6. Transportation system - Emergency management
– Emergency management consists of prevention, preparation,
response, mitigation, and recovery.
– Public safety
– Infrastructure availability/continuity
– Involves different agencies, as well as many different public
safety and security technologies
• closed circuit television (CCTV-Analog & Digital)
• access control systems
• fire and life safety systems
• incident management software and web programs
• building information management (BIM) systems
• two-way radio communications
• Digital visual paging public address systems
– Each transportation system and their mutual aid partners may have
different systems that may or may not communicate with each other.
– Home Land Security is source of funding for national strategic projects
7. External Oversight/Influences & Resulting Compelling Events
FAA
The Recovery Act specifically includes $1.3 billion for projects and
programs administered by FAA. These programs will fund
construction projects at airports and investments in FAA's air traffic
control infrastructure.
Ohare opportunity identified for Visual Paging
– Possible reuse of copper infrastucture
• lowers cost and limits disruption of service
SanFran Airport was sued several years back (failure to meet ADA)
– Digital Visual Paging public address systems (addresses ADA)
Comnet Software - ECLIPSX ®Digital Paging 3.0
– uses CobraNet® synchronous digital audio POE appliances
– Multi-Channel audio seamlessly distributed via CobraNet®,
using economical Cat-5 cable moving entire audio network over Ethernet.
– Possible position for IEEE AVB communications network in automobiles
» 802.1AS (PTP, IEEE 1588)
» 802.1Qat (SRP)
» 802.1Qav (latency sensative queueing)
» IEEE 1722 (L2TP real time sensative streams)
» IEEE 1733 (RTCP for RTP over AVB networks)

FHWA
The FHWA Office of Safety's mission is to reduce highway fatalities by
making our roads safer through a data–driven, systematic approach
“Make safety your first consideration in every investment decision.”
– As of September 3, 2010, ARRA has funded 1,002 “Safety/Traffic Management”
Projects, totaling $1,366,027,488, representing 7.7% of FHWA ARRA projects
and 5% of total funding. What if only 1% was invested in information
networks…
FMCSA
The new 2011 CSA safety program will allow FMCSA to reach more carriers
earlier and deploy a range of corrective interventions to address a carrier's
specific safety problems.
– "The CSA program will help us more easily identify unsafe commercial truck and
bus companies,“ will this added Governance communications investments
in trucking and busing?

FRA
December 09, 2010 Announcement
– …Ray LaHood. “I am pleased that so many other states are
enthusiastic about the additional support they are receiving to
help bring America’s high-speed rail network to life.”
The Recovery Act included $8 billion to launch a national
high-speed rail program that will modernize America’s
transportation network, spur economic development
domestically and keep the U.S. competitive with other
leading nations. High-speed rail grants announced under
the Recovery Act can be used only for high-speed rail
projects and not for other transportation projects.
10. Internal Improvement/Growth
Light Rail - Commuter Opportunity
Valley Transit Authority
http://www.vta.org/studies/lrt_system_analysis/lr_analysis.html
Systemwide Capital Improvements
– Grade separation of North First and Montague (LRT bridge over Montague)
– Fencing on North First (allows trains to increase to 45 mph)
– Pocket track at Ohlone/Chynoweth (timed transfers during night/weekend)
– Success Stories In Japan
Train signal improvements (improved reliability)
– New Great America station (improved connection to commuter rail)
Making Light Rail More User Friendly
– Continue the EcoPass program with employers/institutions
– Implement real-time information services for riders (via cell phones, internet, and station signage)
– Improve signage inside the vehicles so that riders know what line they are on
– Accept credit/debit cards in ticket vending machines
Future Plans
– Short Term. Depending on the agency’s fiscal condition, VTA hopes to be able to implement Phase I within
the next several years. Phase I may require some minor capital improvements but the principal obstacle in
implementing phase I will be identifying where the additional operating cost will come from.
– Mid Term. VTA will work closely with staff from the High Speed Rail Authority to initiate planning and design
activities for Phase II improvements in Mountain View.
